CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the Interior of the Wine Vault
Cleaning the Liquid Probe
Step 1
Check the water level in the liquid probe every
6 months. Make sure that it is approximately 3/4 full.
Step 2
Use warm water and baking soda solution
†
to
clean the probe and wine bottle. This both
cleans and neutralizes odors.
Step 3
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
NOTE:
Ensure that all wine residues are removed
from the bottle used for the probe.
Cleaning the Door Gasket
Step 1
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild
soap and water, a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder.
Step 2
Rinse well.
Step 3
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer of paraffin wax or petroleum
jelly to the door gasket at the hinge. This helps keep the gasket from sticking
and bending out of shape.
Cleaning the Drain Port
In the event that a drain line is attached to the drain port of your cooling unit,
follow the cleaning instructions below:
Step 1
Remove the drain line to check for clogs or debris
every 6 months.
Step 2
Use warm water and baking soda solution
†
to clean
the drain line and drain bucket. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors.
Step 3
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Drain line port

Note:
The recommended baking soda solution for cleaning
the probe and drain port is approximately one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to 1 quart (1 liter) of water.
Barrels made from American oak impart flavors different than barrels made
from French oak.
